Dear SFHS Falcon Families, 

Spring is on the horizon! There is great energy in the halls as we look forward to warmer weather and dive into the excitement of spring sports and Solo & Ensemble preparations. It is enjoyable to see our students pursuing excellence in the field, on the track, and in the music wing.

Friday, March 20th, marks the halfway point of the semester. Looking ahead to April, our students will be participating in several important state-mandated assessments that help us measure growth and ensure our Falcons are on the right track. Our freshmen and sophomores are scheduled for the PreACT Secure on Wednesday, April 1st, followed by Forward testing during the week of April 10th. We are also happy to share that our juniors successfully completed their ACT testing on March 11th, and we commend them for their hard work.

To help prepare, we encourage 9th and 10th-grade students to continue utilizing MasteryPrep to sharpen their skills and build confidence before their testing dates. We ask for your continued assistance in ensuring students are present, engaged, and focused during these windows, as maintaining academic momentum through the end of the year is a team effort.

Finally, we hope you and your students have a restful and rejuvenating spring break. We look forward to finishing the school year strong!

Thank you for your partnership in education.

Go Falcons!

Mike Nikson, SFHS Principal

Noah Kaufman, SFHS Associate Principal

Lice are a common concern for families, especially those with school-aged children between 3 and 11 years old.

These tiny, parasitic insects aren’t dangerous and don’t spread disease. Still, a lice infestation can be stressful, which is why it is helpful to know how to spot, treat and prevent lice to minimize disruptions to your family’s everyday routine.  Our medical director, Dr. Jenny Brault, shared some helpful information on how lice are transmitted, and how to manage head lice infestations. 

Managing Head Lice requires a combination of treatment, cleaning, and prevention. Head lice are tiny insects that live on the scalp and feed on human blood.  Lice cannot jump, hop or fly from head to head.  They have no wings and their legs are designed for crawling and clinging to hair shafts.  Lice spread through direct, close head-to-head contact, and are common among school-aged children.  Too common for anyone's comfort! 

The first step in managing head lice is confirming the infestation. Signs include itching on the scalp, a tickling feeling in the hair, and visible lice or eggs (nits) attached firmly to hair strands near the scalp. Once confirmed, treatment should begin promptly. Over-the-counter medicated shampoos or lotions containing Permethrin or Pyrethrin are commonly used over the counter options. These treatments kill live lice, but a second treatment is usually required about 7–10 days later to kill newly hatched lice.  There can be some resistance to this, so please reach out to your provider if prescription options are needed.  

While the medication is important, using a fine-toothed lice comb is also important. After treatment, hair should be combed carefully to remove dead lice and nits. Wet hair and good lighting help make the process easier. Combing should be repeated every few days for about two weeks.

Environmental cleaning at home helps prevent reinfestation. Wash bedding, clothing, hats, and towels used within the previous two days in hot water and dry them on high heat. Items that cannot be washed can be sealed in a plastic bag for about two weeks to eliminate any live lice (48 hours) or remaining nits that might hatch (10-14 days). Hairbrushes and combs should be soaked in hot water for 5–10 minutes.

Finally, avoid sharing personal items such as combs, hats, or hair accessories, though spread this way is less common than for those living in the same household and/or sharing a bed.   With careful treatment and follow-up, head lice infestations can usually be eliminated within a few weeks.  

Stay healthy!
